THE OCEAN OF SKY by John A Connor is a collection of twenty-three short stories and flash fiction pieces mixing sci-fi, horror and suspense...
THE OCEAN OF SKY: dark tale about the fate of the Lost Cause

A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE: unusual meteorite
TIME ON THEIR HANDS: adrift in space
A LIFE LESS COLOURFUL: relationship vs. duty

THE TRUTH AND NOTHING LIKE THE TRUTH: alien author
NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE: Death makes an unusual friend*
SKIN DEEP: future cosmetic surgery
TWO-WAY TRAFFIC: this one confused me too much to enjoy
EVERLASTING LIFE: a lemming strategy
WELL, DO YOU?: the God debate
NET RESULT: worse than your phone listening to your conversations
THEORETICALLY SPEAKING: science vs. magic
THE DAY MAY COME: fantastic ending!!*
POINT OF ENTRY: time travel as a means of revenge
The ones marked with an asterisk are my favorites, mainly because of they have a touch of dark humor, but all of the stories are very entertaining. Connor has always provided a wide variety within his anthologies, which is why he remains one of my favorite science fiction authors.
I highly recommend this collection, especially if you are a fan of Ray Bradbury.
As always,
